Cluster monitoring ?

Hi,
I'd like to monitor the cluster's health and get an email if one of the member is down for exemple.
How would you do that ?

Thanks

Hi @leforban

In policy manager, if you go to FireCluster -> Configure.
-Go to the advanced tab.
-Click Notification.
-Check "Send Notification" and select email.
(The firewall will then send a log message to your Dimension server whenever an email alert is needed. The Dimension server is where you decide whom to and how the email is delivered.)

FireCluster needs to be configured in the system manager, so you can't use the WebUI to set this part up. You can use the WebUI to manage the firewall after the setting is made, if you prefer that interface.

You'll need to ensure that you're logging to a Dimension server, and that it's set up to send emails. Dimension is a free log/report server that works with any WatchGuard firewall that has an active support contract:

Thank you.
